Receiving her cell phone in October ranks high on Zeida’s list of events with an impact on her life. When asked what she would like to change about her high school career, she responded - if she could change anything she’d actually turn in her homework and get more sleep at nights.

The people she admires most are her parents because they are always positive, supportive and hard working. She hopes to have their amazing qualities when she grows up. Favorite memories from school include attending prom her sophomore year, and all the bus rides with her teammates. If she could change anything from her high school career she would want to be less shy during her first two years of high school.

Isai Cabezas Isai Cabezas is the son of Arturo and Rosemarie Cabezas. He was born July 20, 1999 in Liberal. Next year, Isai plans to attend Johnson County Community College, and, after finishing two years there, he plans on transferring to the University of Kansas, and earn a spot in the Pre-Med program. Isai’s favorite song is “Broccoli (feat. Lil Yachty)” by D.R.A.M, but he listens to pretty much everything. If Isai had to choose one movie, his favorite would be “Hacksaw Ridge”. When asked about his favorite teacher, Isai said, “Sue Omo was my favorite teacher because she did so many activities with us. In the mornings she would have us run around the rocket and back into class to wake us up. She was just an overall great person”. Isai would like to visit Ireland because there’s so much stuff to see there and it’s green. The person Isai admires most is his mom because she is the most loving person he has ever met; she always does more than she needs to do, and even though she has had her tough patches in life, she always knows how to handle rough times. He said one part of school he remembers most is being late to class and trying to hurry, and in the process, he fell down the stairs. For that reason, he would have liked to change about how many times he was late. When asked what event in high school had the greatest impact on his life Isai stated, “It would probably have to be the death of one of my best friends. Montana’s death showed me that we don’t always have the time we think with the people we love. We can’t take that time for granted.”
Congratulations Graduates! Your future is awaiting you.

If he had to change anything, it would be not to wait on things. One of the greatest impacts that happened in high school would have been “meeting new friends”.

Zackary remembers his freshman year and not knowing many people. Something he would like to change about his high school career would be to be more involved in sports. The greatest impact on his life would be graduation.
Brooklynn Anna Trotter October 8, 1998, in Guymon, Ok., Steven Trotter and Shauna Nix gave birth to Brooklynn Anna Trotter. Anna is a senior who plans to attend Garden City Community College with plans to become a pediatric oncologist. Anna’s favorite book is the “Harry Potter” series by J.K. Rowling. Her favorite song is “From the Ground Up” by Dant Shay. Her favorite movie is “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron”. Her favorite teacher is Mrs. Sosa. Anna would like to visit Hawaii, because she thinks it’s so beautiful. Anna admires her parents the most, because they are Anna’s greatest motivators. The stuff she most remembers from high school is meeting her best friends, starting her dream job, and all the good memories. One thing Anna would like to change from her high school career would be not going to State from an injury sophomore year. The greatest impact on her life would have to be her father coming back into her life.

It’s YOUR day, Graduate! Try these tips for wearing your graduation ensemble correctly The traditional garb worn for high school graduation is a wardrobe style created several centuries ago. Therefore, the style of the graduation gown and accessories may not be something students are accustomed to wearing today. Most students can expect to wear the graduation gown, a cap and a tassel. Graduation gowns are generally similar in style. A gown will come down to the knee or below. It may be worn open as sort of a draped piece, or there may be fasteners or a zipper so that the gown is closed in the front. The sleeves may be bell-shaped or
pointed, depending on the school. Oftentimes, the gown coordinates with the school colors, and students should expect to wear the primary color associated with the school when they graduate. This way they can plan their underclothes accordingly. Because graduation gowns tend to be bright in color, often vivid blues, reds and greens, it is adviseable to wear neutral colored dresses, skirts, slacks and shirts underneath. Both male and female students may want to consider a collared shirt under the gown for a crisp and professional look. The cap, also known as a mortar board,
is a hat with a flat, square top. The color of the cap may tie into the color of the gown, or it could be a complementary school color. Sometimes it is a neutral black. The cap should be worn so that the board is parallel to the shoulders. It should not be tipped or worn on the back of the head. Hairstyles may have to be adjusted so the cap is placed correctly. It should also be placed so one of the points is directly in front. If looked at from above, the cap would form a diamond shape. A button should be at the top of the cap where the tassel is attached. The tassel is
looped around the button and, in most instances, worn to one side of the face. Most schools require the tassel be on the right side of the face. Once students receive their diplomas and have been declared graduates, it is customary to move the tassel over to the left side of the face. Here it will remain until the cap is removed after the ceremony. Although graduation clothing may seem out of place in this day and age, the formality and custom of donning a cap and gown is something that further emphasizes the importance and tradition of the ceremony.
